JEWISH LEADER
DIES IN CANADA
Montreal, (WNS)Samuel Jac-
obs, number one leader of Cana-
dian Jewry and the first Jew elect-
ed to the Canadian House of Com-
mons, died here at the age of 67.
One of the key figures in the Lib-
eral Party for more than a gener-
ation, he had been a member of
Parliament since 1917 for the Car-
tier (Montreal) division. In recent
years he had frequently been
mentioned for a place in the Sen-
ate and the Cabinet.
Born in Lancaster, Ontario, he
was graduated from McGill Uni-
versity in 1893. Prior to his elec-
tion to Parliament he was one of
the most eminent lawyers of Can-
ada. He was associated with the
iate William Travers Jerome, act-
ing for the Attorney-General of
New York, in seeking the return
to the United States of Harry K.
Thaw, who had escaped from an
asylum in New York in 1913.
An uncompromising ohampion
of Jewish rights, Jacobs was re-
sponsible for legislation in Quebec
Province to remove disabilities
against Jews in the schools and as
regards marriage. Jacobs was
president of the Canadian Jewish
Congress, in the creation of which
he was a prime factor; honorary
president of the Canadian Jewish
Immigrant Society; honorary vice-
president of the Jewish Publica-
tion Society of America; a direc-
tor of the Jewish Colonization As-
sociation; and a former president
of the Montreal Y. M. H. A. A
former treasurer of the Montreal
Bar Association, he was the repre-
sentative of Quebec Province on
the Council of the Canadian Bar
Association. In 1986 he was
awarded a medal by the late King
George V on the occasion of the
King's silver jubilee.
Jacobs was the author of "The
Railway Law of Canada" and a
leading authority on Federal law.
Prime Minister King declared Jac-
ob's death was "a distinct nation-
al loss," while Robert Manion,
leader of the Conservative Party,
said his passing "was a loss to
Canada as a whole."
League Mandates Commission
Analyzes Palestine Situation
VETERANS WILL
HAVE MONUMENT
DetroitA campaign to erect
the first monument in the United
States to American Jewish sol-
diers who laid down their lives in
the wars of the Republic, will be
launched at the 43rd Annual Nat-
ional Encampment of the Jewish
War Veterans of the United
States, to be held at Detroit, Mich-
September second to fifth, it was
announced this week by Samuel J.
Leve, General Convention Chair-
man.
The proposed monument is to
be erected at Gettysburg, Pa.,
scene of the Battle of Gettysburg
>n the Civil War, Mr. Leve said.
Geneva, (WNS Palcor Agency)
The Permanent Mandates Com-
mission of the League of Nations
headed by Pierre Orts of Belgium
this week made public its report
on its survey of the Palestine sit-
uation together with the minutes
of its sessions held in June in
which it stated that Great Britain
"still considers partition the best
and most hopeful solution." De-
claring that conditions revealed by
its investigations of developments
in Palestine caused it "the utmost
concern," the Mandates Commis-
sion expressed the hope that the
period before a final decision with
regard to the future of the coun-
try is made will be as short as pos-
sible, as all interests involved
must "suffer further from a con-
tinuation of the present state of
uncertainty." The report of the
Commission will be taken up by
the Council of the League of Na-
tions at its session on Friday, Sep-
tember 9th.
In its comment on the disturb-
ances the Commission's report
stated that the British represen-
tative described the situation as
equivalent to "a new **-**."'
The accredited representative of
the Mandatory Power admitted,
the report declared, "that events
during the past year produced a
transitional situation other than
the transitional period the Royal
Commission expected to elapse be-
tween the decisions it recommend-
ed and their practical application."
While the Royal Commission be-
lieved that during the period of
transition the present Mandate
would continue as the governing
instrument of the administration
of Palestine, the Mandates Com-
mission cannot "actually recognize
its aplication. The Mandate has
been partially suspended as events
have prevented some of the funda-
mental objects of the Mandate
from being carried out."
Great Britain was obliged to
prolong the period of limitation of
Jewish immigration to "a greater
extent than justified by the princi-
ple of absorptivity approved by
the Council of the League of Na-
tions." The situation also proved
less favorable for establishing self
governing institutions, the report
says.
The following is the text of the
Mandate's Commission report:
"The report on Palestine for
1937 submitted by the Mandatory
Power makes clear the fact that
the political situation has not
emerged from the deadlock as the
British representative character-
ized it one year ago. Throughout
the year public order in Palestine
was continually disturbed by at-
tacks, intimidation and sabotage
on the part of Arabs and on a few
occasions these acts provoked Jew-
ish reprisals. Violence increased
month by month and spread far-
ther across the country. More re-
cently, however, order appears to
have been established in Jerusa-
lem and the disturbances occur
TO HOLD EXAMS
Merit System Examinations un-
der the auspices of the State Wel-
fare Board will be held in Miami
on September 17th. Applications
for this examination must be filed
not later than September 1st in
the headquarters of the State We-1
fare Board, Roberts Building,
Jacksonville. These blanks may
be secured from the local Welfare
office at 31 Northeast First Street.
The office here will be glad to
answer any questions concerning
the examination, Mrs. Bernard Si-
mon, publicity chairman, states.
now mainly in the northern part of
the country.
"The chief concern of the Man-
datory Power is the restoration of
order which, of course, is its pri-
mary duty.. It has applied itself
to this task with a determination
for which every credit is due, al-
though its measure of success has
not been commensurate with the
effort it expended or the sacrifices
it made. The Mandatory Power's
accredited representative describ-
ed the situation as a state of war,
thus making clear the gravity of
the attacks upon authority and the
extent of the resources called into
play for overcoming it. He also
convinced the Mandate's Commis-
sion of the exceptional difficulties
of this task owing to the physical
position of the country and the
lack of cooperation on the part of
the Arabs either because of sym-
pathy with the insurgents or be-
cause they have been terrorized by
the threat of reprisals and also
owing to the fact that the insur-
rection has received help from the
outside.
"Measures for the restoration of
order constitute a heavy financial
burden which necessitates inter-
ference with ordinary administra-
tive activities. The accredited rep-
resentative admitted that the
year's events produced a transi-
tional situation other than the
transitional period the Royal Com-
mission expected to elapse between
the decisions it recommended and
their practical application. The
Royal Commission considered that
during that period the present
Mandate would continue as the
governing instrument for the ad-
ministration of Palestine. Actu-
ally, however, the Mandate Com-
mission cannot recognize its appli-
cation. The Mandate has now been
partially suspended as events have
prevented some of its essential ob-
jects from being pursued. Thus
the Mandatory Power felt obliged
to prolong the period for limiting
Jewish immigration to a greater
extent than justified by the prin-
ciple of absorptivity approved by
the Council of the League of Na-
tions. Similarly the situation has

PRESIDENT HAILS
JEWISH SERVICE
Detroit, (WNS) American
Jews "have played a great and
commendable part in the defense
of Americanism during the World
War and prior wars, and have con-
tributed much toward the devel-
opment and preservation of the
glory and romance of our country
and our democratic form of gov-
ernment," President Roosevelt de-
clared in a message to the 43rd
national encampment of the Jew-
ish War Veterans of the United
States which is to be held in De-
troit September second to fifth.
Addressed to Harry H. Schaffer,
national commander, and made
public here by Samuel J. Leve,
general convention chairman, the
President's message read as fol-
lows:
"It is with pleasure that I again
greet the members of the Jewish
War Veterans and all who partici-
pate in their 43rd national encamp-
ment. The American people need
no reminder of the service which
those of the Jewish faith have ren-
dered our nation. It has been a
service with honor and distinction.
History reveals that your people
have played a great and commend-
able part in the defense of Ameri-
canism during the World War and
prior wars, and have contributed
much in time of peace toward the
development and preservation of
the glory and romance of our
country and our democratic form
of government. On behalf of the
American people I commemorate
your loyal and commendable ser-
vice and wish for you a happy and
successful encampment."

Manila, P. I., (WNS)Instruc-
tions to admit 1,000 Austrian and
German Jews to the Philippine Is-
lands have been sent to American
High Commissioner Paul V. Mc-
Nutt by President Roosevelt. The
refugees will be selected by the
Hilfsverein der Juden in Deutsch-
land and the Hias-Ica-Emigration
Association.
Each immigrant must be a skil-
led worker and in possession of
260 pesos. The Jewish community
here has already taken steps to
absorb the refugees when they ar-
rive, having asked the government
to issue practice licenses to 20
Jewish doctors and 25 physicians'
assistants. Grants of land for ag-
ricultural immigrants will be ask-
ed for the refugees.
RIFT APPEARS IN
OIES COMMITTEE
Washington, D. C, (WNS)
The reported resignation and sub-
sequent denial of the report by
Representative Healey of Mass.,
from the Special House Commit-
tee Investigating Subversive Ac-
tivities because of the committee's
red-baiting policies and its fail-
ure to probe Nazi and Fascist ac-
tivities revealed a deep-seated
cleavage in the committee. Anoth-
er member of the committee is
reported to be preparing to resign
shortly. Coincidentally with Rep-
resentative Healejr's resignation,
the committee obtained from the
Federal Bureau of Investigation
its bulky files on the German-
American Bund. Accumulated
during the G-men's probe of the
Bund, the files are being studied
by the committee in executive ses-
sion with a view to making them
the basis of examination of a
number of key figures in the Nazi
movement in this country.
Meanwhile, whispered charges
that Homer I. Chaillaux, director
of the Americanism Commission
of the American Legion, had sup-
ported the Rev. Gerald Winrod,
Kansas anti-Semite who was de-
feated for the Republican Sena-
torial nomination in his state,
came into the open when Repre-
sentative Dies, chairman of the
investigating committee, question-
ed Chaillaux about the reports.
Chaillaux denied being a support-
er of Winrod but admitted uaing
some of the material contained in
Winrod's antirSemitic publication,
The Defender. Chaillaux also ac-
knowledged authorship of a friend-
ly letter he had written to Winrod,
in which the Legion official said
"I enjoyed reading the Defender
which you are sending me regular-
ly." Chaillaux's letter was wide-
ly exploited by Winrod during his
Senatorial campaign.
New York, (WNS)Charging
that the Dies Committee investi-
gating subversive activities hs-i
become "a red-baiting proposi-
tion," Representative Samuel Dick-
stein, chairman of the House Im-
migration Committee, issued a
statement attacking the Dies com-
mittee for its failure to expose
the existence of 31 Nazi camps,
to find out the object of subject-
ing memberj of the camps to an
oath of allegiance to a foreign
government, or to inquire into the
extensive propaganda flooding the
country from abroad.

VOLUME 11NUMBER 33
Why is it that men who preach
ethical conduct fall by the wayside
when their own selfish interests
are concerned; and why some men
who are cautious about signing
business papers don't hesitate to
lend their names to obtain posi-
tions for men who lend everything
but credit to the Jewish name.
THE CHRSTIAN INDEBTEDNESS
TO JEWRY
COMMUNAL RESPONSIBILITIES
The sooner a Jewish community or portion thereof becomes
endowed with a consciousness of its communal responsibilities,
the sooner will that community become an integral part of
Jewry, and will help in the perpetuation of Jewish traditions
and ideals.
We say this because of certain occurrences in the Miami
i ea during the past several weeks. Many of the individual
members of the Jewish community of Greater Miami have not
realized that the Jew in particular is not an individual in and
for himself. They have not yet understood that throughout the
ages, the Jewish people as a whole have been made responsible
for the behavior of the individual Jew.
Individuals, after all, when grouped together form commu-
nities. When these individuals are devoid of communal respon-
sibility the group they have formed must necessary also fail to
possess a sense of responsibility. When these individuals gather
to promote what they believe to be the welfare of the.group
they have organized, lacking this sense of communal responsi-
bility they do not hesitate to employ methods which the rest of
the citizenry must necessarily condemn. This lack of under-
standing of duties result in such incidents as that of recent
weeks when non-Jews were called and told that unless they pur-
chased tickets for a benefit for a Jewish organiation they would
be boycotted in their business by all of the Jewish community.
The same lack of responsibility causes the employment of pro-
fessional solicitors who stop at nothing to try and attempt to
obtain business for themselves. The use of the names of the
spiritual leaders of the community means but little to them if
by its use they can obtain a dollar here and there, though they
have thus destroyed in a few minutes the respect that spiritual
leaders should be held in. It is the same lack of responsibility
which causes men to engaee in and establish mushroom synago-
gues regardless of what the effect of such a venture may be.
Our individual or organizational self interests must be held
in check by the far greater duty to the Jewish people as a whole.
Will there be an abundance of
mushrooom synagogues in this
area this year or will we be spared
the plague on this occasion. Per-
haps if the leaders of this commu-
nity, lay and spiritual would speak
out in unmistakable terms this ill
would once and for all be abol-
ished.
Why Be Old-Fashioned
and Make Enemies?
THE considerate, careful indivi-
dual will use the Jewish
New Year issue of the Jewish
Floridian to extend greetings to
his friends everywhere and not
use the archaic method of sending
greeting cards. Thus you will not
overlook a friend and make an
enemy..... I *-
THE Jewish Floridian is the
only proper medium to greet
your friends. It is with you fifty-
two weeks of fhe year, a tried and
true servant, not a fly-by-night,
irresponsible, here now and gone
tomorrow, money raising stunt .

Phone 2-1141 and we will be
Happy to Serve You
Why is it that a splendid Jew-
ish custom has been completely-
ignored and forgotten in this area.
Time there was when an illness of
a dear One would bring a contribu-
tion to charity or other worthy
cause. If there was a birth in the
family there was another oppor-
tunity when charity, the syna-
gogue or other worthy institution
was the recipient of a fair contri-
bution. And so on, down the line.
Today there's shopping when Rosh
Hashono comes along, there's even
shopping when a Bar Mitzvah is
held. It's no longer how much can
we give, but how little can we get
away with.
It's about time that every Jew-
ish institution be made to realize
that the contemptible practice of
getting professional agents. Jews
and non-Jews to go out for ads, for
programs, or to sell tickets will
be opposed by every right thinking
Jew this year. The people of this
community are entitled to know
the money they contribute goes di-
rect to the cause they want to help
and that not one penny goes for
commissions or other such ex-
penses. The spectacle of non-Jews
using Jewish names calling for a
Jewish institution and threatening
non-Jews with boycotts unless
they buy tickets or take ads in
programs is revolting to every-
oneand will bring about an un-
usually determined stand to re-
fuse to aid any institution which
will use such methods.

comes at a time of such suffering
for the Jewish people in many
parts of the world that I am
prompted to send a message of
sympathy and fellowship, I am
confident that in doing so I voice
the deep feelings of countless oth-
er Christians in America.
A Christian who on such an oc-
casion as this has the privilege o'
speaking to Jewish friends must
first of all, acknowledge his in-
debtedness to the spiritual heri-
tage of the Hebrews. We Chris-
tians have inherited the ethical
and religious insights of Israel,
and hold them in common with
you. We hold them with a dif-
ference, it is trueat one point
with a momentous differencebut
we always remember that the his-
Hebrew people.
toric roots of our faith are in the
From Israel we inherit the Ter
Commandments, which are still
the basic moral standards of
Christendom. From Israel we in-
herit the priceless treasure of the
Psalms, which are an essential
part of Christian worship around
the world. From Israel we in-
herit the vision of social justice
which has come to us through j
Amos and Isaiah and Micah. From 1
Israel we inherit even our own
unique Christian classic, the New
Testament, which from the Gospel
of St. Matthew through the Epis
ties of St. Paul to the Revelation
of St. John was written by Jews.
Any thoughtful Christian may
also be conscious of a present spir-
itual kinship with his Jewish
neighbors to whom their religious
heritage is still a vital force. That
kinship is grounded in our com-
mon faith in the ultimate moral
and spiritual foundations of the
universe. Over against those who
adhere to a materialistic philoso-
phy of life and a mechanistic con-
ception of human destiny, we rec-
ognize ourselves as at one with
you in the first sublime affirma-
tion of the Pentateuch, "In the
Beginning God."
Why will not people realize that
Federation is for their own bene-
fits and that local organizations
are actually part of the community
and not independent in every sense
of the word. Can they not realise
that there are other equally wor-
thy institutions who need to pros-
per and that when people are
trained to giveate one cause, even-
tually they are trained to give to
all. Cannot the greatest good for
the largest number be the determ-
ining factor in the discharge of
our duties to the community rath-
er than a desire to live for and
within a restricted group.
Will people never learn that the
individual who really serves the
community does not go about
boasting of what he has done and
seeks jobs solely on his merit and
not because of a service to the
community. Can we not realise
that using pressure of the Jewish
Without such a faith men are
like rudderless ships, headed no-
where. For, if the world goes all
by chance or is governed by blind
forces which care nothing for
what we cherish most, then we
are left with a profound disbelief
in life itself and there is no real
bulwark against cynicism and de-
spair. But over against such dis-
illusionment Christian and He-
brew stand together in their be-
lief in the one Holy God who is
the Creator of all and whose
righteous will gives meaning and
direction to life. The divine sum-
mons to the Hebrew people is a
summons with which Christians
also identify themselves as some-
thing of transcendent importance
to the world:
"Hear, O Israel, the Lord our
God is one God; and thou shalt
love the Lord thy God with all
thy heart and with all thy soul
and with all thy might."
A Christian who knows any-
a word of confession. For he can-
thing of history must also speak
not help recalling how grievously
the Jewish people have suffered
at the hands of men who have
called themselves Christians. The
historical record of the treatment
of Jews in Europe through long
centuries is one which Christians
of today view with penitence and
name for the purpose of obtaining
jobs for unworthy individuals does
the Jewish people an irreparable
injury.
sorrow. One has also regretfully
to admit that the day of cruel
treatment of the Jew's by tnany
who are called Christians is not
yet a thing of the past. The news
which comes from Germany and
Poland and Roumania shows how
persistent the spirit of anti-Semit-
ism is.
The best that a Christian can
ray is that such treatment of the
Jews is inherently ur^-Christian,
contrary to the plain teaching of
Jesus Christ. It must also be con-
fessed that even in our own coun-
try there are small misguided
groups who circulate statements
that spread a poison of mistrust
and hate which is antithetical to
the true genius both of America
and of the Christian religion. Hap-
pily, however, it can be asserted
with confidence that any such in-
tolerant attitude is opposed by the
great bodies of Christians who are
committed to the spirit of good-
will toward the men of every race
and heritage.
A Christian today must also rec-
ognize the practical interests
which he shares in common with
the Jewish people. If there was
formerly any dougt on this point,
the tragic events in Germany dur-
ing the last five years must make
the fact as plain as noonday. In
that unhappy land the National
So**/ list regime began by pro-
claiming itself the friend of what
it called 'positive Christianity"
and the enemy of the Jews. But
everything which has happened
since shows that what started as
a move.nert against the Jews
urns cat to be a movement agains1
Christianity also.
Today in Germany (he whole
future of Christianity ; as well as
of the Jews is at stake. The new
religious trend known a. the "Ger-
manic faith movement," under the
leadership of anti-Semites like Al-
fred Rosenberg and Balfour von
Shirach, denounces' Christianity
as well as Judaism and would sub-
stitute for both a new religion
based on German blood. This new
of narrow racialism which scorns
German creed asserts a doctrine
Christianity as being of Jewish
origin and tries to "Aryanize"
the Church. Indeed the whole
Nazi ideblogy discloses the fact
that an attempt to de-Judaize a
nation leads to de-Christianizing it
also.
In the face of the present situa-
tion we see more clearly that the
ultimate foundation on which hu-
man freedom rests is religious
faiththe conviction that there is
a Divine Reality which is above
all earthly powers. If there is no
Divine Sovereignty to which a
man owes supreme allegiance,
then he is at the mercy of what-,
ever human sovereignty sets it-,
self up in the place of God. When
Absolute that transcends all
men no longer feel a loyalty to an
earthly claims, they become vic-
tims of new Absolutes of nation,1
race or class such as are bidding'
for the support of mankind today. _
If men are to be free from earth-
ly dictators they must know, in
the depths of their souls, that
there is a divine will above all hu-
man wills and that in the final
choice they "must obey God rath->
er than men."
It is that faith which through-
out the centuries has been nur-
tured by the Hebrew and the
Christian Scriptures. Upon that
faith, whatever our other differ-
ences, we can take our stand to-
gether as we look out upon the
J tragic state of th modern world.

THE WORLD'S WffUOOW
+
-By LUDWIO LEWISOHN
It is a commonplace to say that
we are a very old people. Biolo-
gically we are, of course, no older
than any other people. But it is
true that the Jews who are alive
today are the conscious partici-
pants of an historic process which
extends to four millenia. At the
center of this process stands the
land of Palestine. The great myth
of the beginning of the Jewish
People is the myth of that people's
marriage, as it were, to the land
of Palestine. From that event
arose the Jewish people as a peo-
ple, even as the Greeks became
Creeks only in and through the
onquest of the land since known
as Greece and even as Germanic
tribes became English only since
and through the conquest of the
land later to be forever known as
r'ngland.
Thus it is clear that our birth
a-; a people, our becoming a peo-
ple, was a normal process and was
analagous to the process by which
our peoples attained the super-
personality of their peoplehood.
How tragically the analogy ends.
The day came when we were driv-
en forth from our land. But we
had become a people in and thru
that land. Hence Israelland
Eretz Yisraelbecame for all the
future ages, in forms that chang-
ed but according to a substance
that did not change, the central
theme and preoccupation of the
people's entire apiritual life. Note
how the centrality of Ereta Yis-
rael spans the centuries. Around
the year 226 of the common era in
the Persian city of Nehardes R.
Shmuel declared: (Sanhedrin: F.
7b.) "Sufficient unto the suffer-
er that he has endured his ruffer-
ings." There is no comment save
n the implications of the contest.
The Babylonian Amoraim needed
none. But seven-hundred and fif-
ty years later Rashi comments on
the saying as follows: "The suf-
fering of exile suffices for re-
demption even without repent-
ance." It is now nearly a thous-
and years since Rashi's day, and
the sufferings of exile over half
the earth are fiercer and more
fiery than ever, more deeply cal
culated than ever to cause redemp-
tion without teshuvah, without an
nntire return to good.
Eretz Yisrael, in brief, is the
center of the destiny of the Jewish
people. And the problem before
the world and, above all, before
the Jewish people is whether that
people has the power unwavering-
ly to will its own destiny and ro
achieve its own redemption. The
news from Palestine yesterday and
today is enough to shake the
stoutest heart. It may be so again
tomorrow. The brilliant sincere
and dangerous Jabotinsky thun-
ders of civil war in Warsaw and
his misguided followers add inner
terrors to the outer ones. It must
not matter. Nothing must mat-
ter. Nothing must he permitted
to prevail for one moment for one
hour, in the soul of any Jew
against his share in the unbreak-
able will of the Jewish people to-
ward ita own deatiny and its own
redemption. And the name of that
destiny and the name of that re-
demption have in all ages and are
today oneone: the land of Is-
rael.

SABBATH SERVICE
This coming Saturday during
the services at 9:30, Ira, the son
of Mr. and Mrs. Harry Kay, will
become Bar Mitzvah. We extend
our Mazel Tov and trust that Ira
together with the other boys will
continue their studies despite the
generally accepted rule by parents
and sons that once you become
Bar Mitzvah you automatically
cease Hebrew studies. Members
and friends are invited to attend

A WORD TO THE WISE
Would that we could discuss at
length the hollowness of modern
professions among our Jews, the
continuing danger from savage
egotism, the unweakened necessity
of Jewish solidarity. Suffice it
to state that here in Greater Mi-
ami a much needed lesson of Jew-
ish manliness is essential at this
juncture of a false refinement, and
an unprincipaled ambition on the
part of some professionals (thank
God a limited few) for social and
economic status. Does not our si-
lence and indifference give solace
to the scoundrels and rascals we
tolerate as company? Are we not
afraid of the naked truth as of
something refined? Have we not
dressed her image up in so many
circumlocutions and equivocations
that we flee from her when she
appears unveiled in the beauty of
her purity?
We claim the title of truth's
guardian, we Jews! On what kind
of terms are we living with can-
dor and frankness in our social re-
lationships? Not enough that
petty business and professional
considerations and effeminate so-
ciety habits keep back from our
lips the strong words we have al-
most unlearned to use, but we are
trembling with redoubled appre-
hensions when it is our own foi-
bles that are to be pointed out,
dragged to the light, overwhelmed
with righteous condemnation. It
is the Gentile's judgment we are
warned against affecting, but it is
our own morbid sensitiveness, our
own petty conceits around which
we want drawn the protecting
fence of a polite silence. To our
mind, no greater injury could be
inflicted by the presence of preju-
dice by the threats of exclusion,
than if it wrought in our charac-
ters, in our moral lives the fearful
havoc that springs from self-de-
ception, from the festering and
feeding of ulcers which should be
cut out, no matter at what cost
of pain and
cannot afford to be silent in the
presence of an evil! Our existence,
our Jewish life in the community
must totter if we remain silent-
Let us speak out! (Continuation
in next issue.)

SOCIETY
HIGH HOLIDAY PLANS
We urge our many friends to
affiliate themselves with our con-
gregation prior to the High Holi-
days. Why not become an active,
counted sincere Jew by becoming
a member of our institution? If
you feel your tendencies and ob-
ligations are with some other con-
gregationjoin that congregation.
Don't give that as an excuse in
order to escape your responsibil-
ity! Join some synagogue or
Temple! Surely you are constant-
ly in need of the services of a
synagogue or Rabbi either in case
of joy or (Heaven forbid) sorrow,
why not be man enough to admit
it and perform your active duty to
your God, Torah and people!
Remember:The High Holidays
are fast approaching! Contact Mr.
Mendel Scheinberg or Cantor Hay-
man for reservations. Reserve
family pews so as to satisfy each
member of your immediate fam-
ily. Well are we in need of the
true spiritual lessons to strength-
en our outlook upon life today.
Attend services regularly!

INSTITUTIONAL PLANS
We are including in our curri-
culum for this year at our Sunday
School, a special course in "Jew-
ish Child Delinquency." We urge
parents who think or imagine that
they have "Problem.children" to
please call our office for appoint-
ment to discuss their problems.
Don't hesitate to do so, for your
child's future welfare is at stake!

live in a static world and that the
processes of historic change have
been immeasurably accelerated in
recent years. This Britain that
will neither protect us today nor
call for Jewish troops in Palestine
to protect us and itself and civil-
ization, will not be the Britain of
tomorrow. There was a Britain
that issued the Balfour declaration
and wrote the Mandate. There
was a world in which the Fascist
powers of today were feeble
defeated. There will be
again in which they will be feeble
or defeated, whatever sacrifices
mankind must make to that end;
there will then be a world again
in which will re-arise the Britain
that issued the Balfour Declara-
tion and framed the Mandate.
One thing must remain like a
rock amid these changesthe will
of the Jewish people toward its
own destiny. Do not say: life is
not safe in Palestine today. Say;
the life of the Jewish people as a
people is safe in Palestine alone
and it will be forever safe there
if my will is unbroken, if my sense
of destiny keeps its unerring vis-
ion fixed on an unchanging goal.
Do not forget that we have never
yet succeeded in welding into one
will the wills of all the Jews in
the world. We have never yet as
a whole people sought to wrench
from hostile powers the fulfillment
of our destiny. This is a year of
crisis. That is true. But this is
also a day and a year of decision.
Like democracy, like Christianity,
in the profound proverbs of the
world, Zionism has never been
tried. The Jewish people has
never powerfully enough or or-
ganically enough willed its own
destiny. The decision to exert
that will is the road to redemp-
tion. Let us redeem ourselves
and the people and despite powers
and principalities, terror without
and folly within. Ereta Yisrael
will be redeemed and will be ours.

SIXTH PALESTINE
LECTURE HEARD
The sixth symposium on Pales-
tine was held last Saturday after-
noon before the Spinoza Group.
Quoting from Ludwig Lewisohn's
article in the Jewish Floridian of
August 19th, Dr. Wolfson said:
"The lie rules the world. Lies are
established as systems and made
principles of action. Thus ihe
racial theories of the Nazis now
of the Italian Fascists are not er-
rors but gross and wicked lies.
The principle of the authoritariga
state 88 held in Germany ani
Italy is not merely a passionate
fallacy but a lie that flies in the
face of both nature and history,.
Another lie is that there is an
Arab-Jewish conflict. It corrode*
and corrupts the public mind; it
corrodes even the mind of certun
Jews. There is no such thing as
an Arab-Jewish conflict. Unleis
there is a conflict between >
gangster and his victims. Unless
there is a conflict between peace-
ful citizens engaged upon great
and beneficient tasks and the as-
sassins and thieves who fall upon
them."
Miss Sarah Lightman told of her
experience in Eretz, Israel. Her
intimate talk made a deep impres-
sion upon the large audience.
Next Saturday afternoon the
Spnioza Group will meet, as usual,
on the lawn at 1059 Collins Ave-
nue, Miami Beach. Dr. Wolfson
will speak on Dr. Leon Pinsker's
Auto-Emancipation. All are wel-
come.

JEW NAMED TO
EGYPT SENATE
Cairo, (WNS)Asian Cattauri
Bey, prominent Jewish business-
man, has been appointed to the
Egyptian Senate by King Farouk
to succeed his father, H. E. Jos-
eph Cattaui Pasha, who resigned
because of ill health. The new
senator is the oldest son of the
Pasha, who is a former minister
of finance and president of the
Jewish community of Cairo.
Mme. Cattaui Pasha is first
lady-in-waiting to Queen Fazi.
Another son of the Pasha, Rene
Cattaui Bey, is the only Jewish
member of the Chamber of Depu-
ties. Senator Cattaui Bey was
formerly general secretary of the
State Domains Administration.
For several years he served as
Kovernment commissioner of the
National Bank of Egypt. He will
he the only Jewish member of the
Senate but the fourth Jew ap-
pointed by the royal court since
the institution of a full parliamen-
tary regime in Egypt.
O, ISRAEL!
HATE JEWS ON
RACIAL GROUNDS
London, (WNS)Impla c a bl e
hatred of the Jews on religious
rather than racial grounds is a
basic tenet of the program of the
Spanish State (Fascist) Party, it
is announced in a manifesto pu>
lished at Pamplona, Spain, accord-
% to a dispatch from Reuters,
Agency.
"Precisely because we are not
racialists and do not recognize
values of blood but of the spirit,"
the manifesto declares, "we are
essentially and fundamentally ene-
mies of thsj Jews. Jews are ene-
mies of the church and of Roman
civilization." One manifesto re-
jects anti-Jewish legislation pre-
dicated on eugenic and political
grounds but proposes measures
akin to the Inquisition and mass
expulsion like that of 1492.
(BY HERMAN BERNSTEIN)
Twenty-four years ago, this
piece was written by Herman
Bernstein, noted author and U. S.
diplomat, for The Independent, a
literary weekly. Its sentiments
are appropriate today when Jew-
ish leadership, so much needed, re-
mains a matter of selfish contest-
ing and argument.
Listen to the voice of Herman
Bernstein, now in the grave,
sound a warning and a plea!

nation of practical men; though
small in numbers, yet your finan-
ciers often decided the destiny of

have inspired the world, your

ning, your millionaires perhaps
more ostentatious, your poor
starve more wretchedly you

Blesed and cursed, you who have
given to the world your saints and
your prophets, true and false,
your heroes and your traitors,
great and small.
O nation of leaders with no one
to lead; you whose consciousness
was steeled in the fires of hate
and whose hearts remained tender
despite the prejudice and cruelty
of centuries; you who as a pitiful
wanderer have begged for the
right to live; you who have been
hated, feared by the envious; you
who are loved or merely tolerated
because you are weak; you who,
armed with the Bible and the Tal-
mud, have passed unscratched
through the furnace of supersti-
tion.

you, and whose preachers bank on

ITALY BANS
JEWISH TEACHERS
Rome, (WNS)Orders for the
dismissal of all Jewish teachers
from the Italian public and high
schools have been issued by Minis-
ter of Education Guiseppe Bettai.
fhe dismissals take effect October
1st with the opening of the new
school year. In instructions sent
to school principals, Bettai an-
nounced that in the future all
candidates seeking school jobs
must present documentary proof
that they are not Jewish. Provis-
ion is made for exemptions in
cases where the applicant or his
family posses "particular national
merit." fhe text of Bettai's or-
der reads as follows.
"The posts of assistant instruc-
tors and instructors of the royal
institutes, high schools, artistic
institutes and governmental gram-
mar schools cannot be given to
pedagogues of the Jewish race. To
this end, royal educational super-
intendents and principles of the
royal institutes must receive from
all aspirants a written, signed
statement that they do not belong
' to the aforesaid race before ac-
cepting a position as instructor or
assistant."
This order means the complete
exclusion of Jews from the teach-
ing profession as all appointments
are renewable annually. A pre-
vious order by the ministry of ed-
ucation had excluded foreign Jews
from Italian schools and universi-
ties.
VETERANS URGED
TO AID JEWRY
you East, some draw you back to
your cradle, others plead with you
that you forget your mother. O
pitiful, strong, stiff-necked wan-
derer, Israel!
You' who have been crucified
for centuries, though you bear the
undeserved stigma of the most
tragic crucifixion in history; last
for war and first for peace; a
stormy petrel; the barometer of
history; sometimes a hero, some-
times a clown, always a martyr;
ever organizing, ever preaching
solidarity, yet none so helpless,
Columbus, Ohio, (WNS)Ad-
dressing the national encampment
of the Veterans of Foreign Wars,
Dr. Everett R. Clinchy, director of
the National Conference of Jews
and Christians, urged the veterans
to promise the Jews that "the
United States will be kept one
island safe from the troubled sea
of persecution, hate, contempt and
untruths, a land free from anti-
Semitism, a stronghold of spirit-
ual decency."
A plea for free speech for Fas-
cists, Communists and Nazis was
made by Herbert Bayard Swope,
former managing editor of the
New York World. Declaring that
"they convict themselves out of
their own mouths," Swope said "is
there is such magic in Comumnism
or in Nazism or in Fascism that
they must be feared? I don't
think so. I think they are a sor-
did, frowsy, unhappy mode of life,
and- that a comparison with the
American system will show up
their viciousness and slavery."

Poughkeepsie, N. Y., (WNS)
The struggle for democratic
rights can be a common meetir-r
ground for Jews and Arabs in Pal-
estine, representatives of the two
races declared during a discussion
of minority preblems at the sec-
ond World Youth Congress. Raif
Khuri, Palestine Arab, expressed
himself as favoring complete
rights for the Jews in Palestine
as a democratic minority'but cau-
tioned them against becoming the
"tools" of British imperialism and
thus coming into conflict with the
"basic hopes and ideals" of the
Arabs and endangering their own
best interests. Jewish rights,
Khuri said, can be guaranteed only
by the fullest cooperation with the
Arabs for the Jews have as much
to fear as the Arabs from "their
British protectors."
Maurice Bouckstein, represent-
ing the Palestine League of Na-
tions Society, denied that Pal*"-
tine's problems can be interpreted
as simply "a clash between Jew-
ish and Arab nationalism." He
insisted the problem was in reality
a clash "between progress and
the status quo." Declaring that
the "Jewish people have no quar-
rel with the Arab people," Bouck-
stein recalled previous Arab rec-
ognition of the Zionist movement
and said that the Jews in Pales-
tine practiced the fullest demo-
cracy, in contrast with tha undem-
ocratic hierarchy of Arab society.

your well-wishers, your destroy
ers, O nation of leaders wtth no

Do the leaders of 'Israer and
foes of Israel realize what they
are doing with the clay and the
spirit that have been moulded,
through the bonfires of persecu-
tions and martyrdom, by the host
of great thinkers and dreamers
and reformers since tha time of
Moses to this day?.

B'NAI B'RITH
BRIEFS
By E. ALBERT PALLOT
When is a secretary not a sec-
retary. When the president does
his work is the correct answer.
If half the energy were shown
by our good B'nai B'rith members
in doing work for the Lodge as is
shown in trying to be named del-
egates to Conventions, our Lodge
would be the leading Lodge in the
country.
We're told the Convention of the
State Lodges at West Palm Beach
will be full of fireworks, and the
Big Berthas will start their bom-
bardments at the very first ses-
sion. Some of the boys with long
speeches on their chests who had
no chance to make themselves
heard at Orlando are going to let
loose no matter what happens. So,
whether you're a delegate or not,
don't miss the Convention on Sep-
tember 4th and 5th.
They tell us Elry will ghost
write your speeches for a small
charge if you let him know in
time. And Elry knows his stuff
too.
There'll 'be no social meeting of
the Lodge this month because of
the preparations for the Conven-
tion but the members will get the
benefits by an extra good time
later in the season.
Will Rudy go bare-footed to the
B'nai B'rith Lodge because he i:
a silent worker and does not mak<
speeches, or is this true only in
Detroit.
"Doc" Coret has not yet started
to collect a "slush" fund for elec-
tion purposes though several will
be glad to undertake the job. If
you don't know "Doc" is a candi-
date for the office of President of
the State Federation on a "New
Deal" platform.
Who's going to chaperone the
Miami delegation this trip. On
the Orlando trip our Chaperone
needed one herself.
Student Union Work policies
will be laid out at the West Palm
Beach Convention. Not "laid out"
us the undertaker terms it, we
hope.
Congratulations to Leo who an-
nounces his engagement this week.
We knew this good-looking, genial
Ben Brith couldn't hold out much
longer. Wonder how "Harry"
holds out so successfully.
We need a lot of new members
this coming year. Sholem Lodge
should set itself the goal of one
thousand members on its roster
for the installation of its next set
of officers. It can be done, only
and when our members will real-
ize that the greater our member-
ship roster the more successful a
factor will B'nai B'rith become in
insuring the rights of Jewry to
the pursuit of life, liberty and the
enjoyment of happiness.
They tell us that "Secretary
Sid" is getting a set of "late"
notes printed up which he will get
his "daddy" to sign before the
next meeting so we won't have to
hold the meeting up to listen to
the excuse each time.
"Matty" Bandler certainly is on
the job all the time when it comes
to keeping posted on things af-
fecting our rights as citizens.
More power to him. Thanks for
the last clipping.
A strong State Federation of
B'nai B'rith Lodges is absolutely
essential. The coordination of
State Lodges would help materi-
ally to formulate definite con-
structive policies. A strong Fed-
eration would help us to meet ex-
isting conditions. Our Student
Union work, requires a definite
head, someone who would be des-
ignated responsible to the Feder-
ation. Heretofore it has been
more of a hit and miss proposi-
tion. We need a closer tie-up be-
tween the State Lodges to assist
our anti-Defamation committee.

Speaking of State Federations,
I wish someone prior to the State
meeting would really construe
some of the provisions of our con-
stitution. Those of our members
who helped draw the constitution
differ completely as to its inter-
pretation. It is important that
we familiarize ourselves thor-
oughly with its provisions because
then only will we be appraised of
our complete rights.
The Merryfellows Club will hold
their first dance of the current
social season September 13th at
Forest Hills Country Club. Mueie
will be furnished by Rex McDon-
ald and his band. An interesting
and entertaining program is being
arranged by the dance committee,
which is headed by Sam Verkanf
and includes Sol Fleischman, Mil-
ton Bokor and Fred Poller.
The smart money is being placed
on Dr. Frank Coret as the next
president of the Florida State Fed-
eration of B'nai B'rith Lodges.
Frank's work really merits the po-
sition and he deserves to head the
Federation. Frank recently re-
marked to the writer that he owes
his success in life to his hard
work, to the hour and a half he
put in while a young man. So
did Clarence Darrow.
FLASH. Bigger and better
speeches. Brother Ike Levin, sec-
ond vice-president of the Fifth
District, accompanied by Brother
Ben Le Vine, the spark-plug of
Sholem Lodge and the best treas-
urer we ever had, is going to trav-
el throughout the State and Dis-
trict speaking before the various
B. B. Lodges. I wonder if he will
practice his speeches on us. More
power to you Ike. Incidentally
more work.
Since when is dual membership
permitted? Genial Ike Levin,
past president of Sholem Lodge,
is not only a member of our Lodge
but an honorary member of Roa-
noke, Virginia, Lodge.
Through inadvertance I omitted
Matty Bandler, of the June Dairy
Bandlers, as one of the guest t* 1-
umnists. Swell guy this Bandler
and a swell worker for our Lodge.
Thanks!

PAGE SIX THE JEWISH FLORIDIAN FRIDAY, AUGUST 26, 1938 CONGREGATION BETH DAVID i 135 N. W. 3rd Avenue (MIAMI'S PIONEER CONGREGATION) MAX SHAPIRO. Rabbi 1029 N. W. tat Street Office Phone 2-1473 Home Phone 2-217* LOUIS HAYMAN, Exec. See. 149 N. W. 6th Street Phone 2-5574 SABBATH SERVICE This coming Saturday during the services at 9:30, Ira, the son of Mr. and Mrs. Harry Kay, will become Bar Mitzvah. We extend our Mazel Tov and trust that Ira together with the other boys will continue their studies despite the generally accepted rule by parents and sons that once you become Bar Mitzvah you automatically cease Hebrew studies. Members and friends are invited to attend the services. XXX A WORD TO THE WISE Would that we could discuss at length the hollowness of modern professions among our Jews, the continuing danger from savage egotism, the unweakened necessity of Jewish solidarity. Suffice it to state that here in Greater Miami a much needed lesson of Jewish manliness is essential at this juncture of a false refinement, and an unprincipaled ambition on the part of some professionals (thank God a limited few) for social and economic status. Does not our silence and indifference give solace to the scoundrels and rascals we tolerate as company? Are we not afraid of the naked truth as of something refined? Have we not dressed her image up in so many circumlocutions and equivocations that we flee from her when she appears unveiled in the beauty of her purity? We claim the title of truth's guardian, we Jews! On what kind of terms are we living with candor and frankness in our social relationships? Not enough that petty business and professional considerations and effeminate society habits keep back from our lips the strong words we have almost unlearned to use, but we are trembling with redoubled apprehensions when it is our own foibles that are to be pointed out, dragged to the light, overwhelmed with righteous condemnation. It is the Gentile's judgment we are warned against affecting, but it is our own morbid sensitiveness, our own petty conceits around which we want drawn the protecting fence of a polite silence. To our mind, no greater injury could be inflicted by the presence of prejudice by the threats of exclusion, than if it wrought in our characters, in our moral lives the fearful havoc that springs from self-deception, from the festering and feeding of ulcers which should be cut out, no matter at what cost of pain and cannot afford to be silent in the presence of an evil! Our existence, our Jewish life in the community must totter if we remain silentLet us speak out! (Continuation in next issue.) xxx LEAGUE MANDATES COMMISSION ANALYZES PALESTINE SITUATION mortificationwe I P ossih, e(Continued from Page 1) been less favorable for securing self-governing institutions. "The Mandates Commission observes that the Mandatory Power has already introduced certain reforms by the Royal Commission -and notes that the Mandatory Power intends to pursue the same policy as the circumstances permit. Lastly the Mandates Commission is informed that partition is still the solution which the Mandatory Power considers the best and most hopeful and that it has appointed a technical commission to study it. Needless to say the situation revealed by its survey caused the Mandates Commission the utmost concern. It hopes that the period elapsing before a final decision is made regarding the future status of the territory will be as short as All interests involve*) must suffer further from a continuation of the present state of uncertainty." SOCIETY HIGH HOLIDAY PLANS We urge our many friends to affiliate themselves with our congregation prior to the High Holidays. Why not become an active, counted sincere Jew by becoming a member of our institution? If you feel your tendencies and obligations are with some other congregationjoin that congregation. Don't give that as an excuse in order to escape your responsibility! Join some synagogue or Temple! Surely you are constantly in need of the services of a synagogue or Rabbi either in case of joy or (Heaven forbid) sorrow, why not be man enough to admit it and perform your active duty to your God, Torah and people! Remember:The High Holidays are fast approaching! Contact Mr. Mendel Scheinberg or Cantor Hayman for reservations. Reserve family pews so as to satisfy each member of your immediate family. Well are we in need of the true spiritual lessons to strengthen our outlook upon life today. Attend services regularly! xxx INSTITUTIONAL PLANS We are including in our curriculum for this year at our Sunday School, a special course in "Jewish Child Delinquency." We urge parents who think or imagine that they have "Problem.children" to please call our office for appointment to discuss their problems. Don't hesitate to do so, for your child's future welfare is at stake!

Inc. 1751 Coral Way Fresh Buttermilk 25c Gallon live in a static world and that the processes of historic change have been immeasurably accelerated in recent years. This Britain that will neither protect us today nor call for Jewish troops in Palestine to protect us and itself and civilization, will not be the Britain of tomorrow. There was a Britain that issued the Balfour declaration and wrote the Mandate. There was a world in which the Fascist powers of today were feeble defeated. There will be again in which they will be feeble or defeated, whatever sacrifices mankind must make to that end; there will then be a world again in which will re-arise the Britain that issued the Balfour Declaration and framed the Mandate. One thing must remain like a rock amid these changesthe will of the Jewish people toward its own destiny. Do not say: life is not safe in Palestine today. Say; the life of the Jewish people as a people is safe in Palestine alone and it will be forever safe there if my will is unbroken, if my sense of destiny keeps its unerring vision fixed on an unchanging goal. Do not forget that we have never yet succeeded in welding into one will the wills of all the Jews in the world. We have never yet as a whole people sought to wrench from hostile powers the fulfillment of our destiny. This is a year of crisis. That is true. But this is also a day and a year of decision. Like democracy, like Christianity, in the profound proverbs of the world, Zionism has never been tried. The Jewish people has never powerfully enough or organically enough willed its own destiny. The decision to exert that will is the road to redemption. Let us redeem ourselves and the people and despite powers and principalities, terror without and folly within. Ereta Yisrael will be redeemed and will be ours. HELP IS ASKED A four-year old Jewish girl who came to Miami sometime ago, totally unable to use her limbs, is now slowly recovering. The physician recommends the use of a tricycle to aid in her further recovery. The gift of such a tricycle will be a wonderful aid and greatly appreciated. Please call 2-3716. RETURN TO NORTH Mr. and Mrs. Charles Scheinbaum left the city for their home in Brooklyn, N. Y., following a six weeks visit with their son and daughter-in-law, Mr. and Mrs. Dan Scheinbaum of Miami. SIXTH PALESTINE LECTURE HEARD The sixth symposium on Palestine was held last Saturday afternoon before the Spinoza Group. Quoting from Ludwig Lewisohn's article in the Jewish Floridian of August 19th, Dr. Wolfson said: "The lie rules the world. Lies are established as systems and made principles of action. Thus ihe racial theories of the Nazis now of the Italian Fascists are not errors but gross and wicked lies. The principle of the authoritarig a state 88 held in Germany ani Italy is not merely a passionate fallacy but a lie that flies in the face of both nature and history,. Another lie is that there is a n Arab-Jewish conflict. It corrode* and corrupts the public mind; it corrodes even the mind of certun Jews. There is no such thing as an Arab-Jewish conflict. Unleis there is a conflict between > gangster and his victims. Unless there is a conflict between peaceful citizens engaged upon great and beneficient tasks and the assassins and thieves who fall upon them." Miss Sarah Lightman told of her experience in Eretz, Israel. Her intimate talk made a deep impression upon the large audience. Next Saturday afternoon the Spnioza Group will meet, as usual, on the lawn at 1059 Collins Avenue, Miami Beach. Dr. Wolfson will speak on Dr. Leon Pinsker's Auto-Emancipation. All are welcome. REV.

THE CHRSTIAN INDEBTEDNESS TO JEWRY COMMUNAL RESPONSIBILITIES The sooner a Jewish community or portion thereof becomes endowed with a consciousness of its communal responsibilities, the sooner will that community become an integral part of Jewry, and will help in the perpetuation of Jewish traditions and ideals. We say this because of certain occurrences in the Miami % i ea during the past several weeks. Many of the individual members of the Jewish community of Greater Miami have not realized that the Jew in particular is not an individual in and for himself. They have not yet understood that throughout the ages, the Jewish people as a whole have been made responsible for the behavior of the individual Jew. Individuals, after all, when grouped together form communities. When these individuals are devoid of communal responsibility the group they have formed must necessary also fail to possess a sense of responsibility. When these individuals gather to promote what they believe to be the welfare of the.group they have organized, lacking this sense of communal responsibility they do not hesitate to employ methods which the rest of the citizenry must necessarily condemn. This lack of understanding of duties result in such incidents as that of recent weeks when non-Jews were called and told that unless they purchased tickets for a benefit for a Jewish organiation they would be boycotted in their business by all of the Jewish community. The same lack of responsibility causes the employment of professional solicitors who stop at nothing to try and attempt to obtain business for themselves. The use of the names of the spiritual leaders of the community means but little to them if by its use they can obtain a dollar here and there, though they have thus destroyed in a few minutes the respect that spiritual leaders should be held in. It is the same lack of responsibility which causes men to engaee in and establish mushroom synagogues regardless of what the effect of such a venture may be. Our individual or organizational self interests must be held in check by the far greater duty to the Jewish people as a whole. Will there be an abundance of mushrooom synagogues in this area this year or will we be spared the plague on this occasion. Perhaps if the leaders of this community, lay and spiritual would speak out in unmistakable terms this ill would once and for all be abolished. Why Be Old-Fashioned and Make Enemies? T HE considerate, careful individual will use the Jewish New Year issue of the Jewish Floridian to extend greetings to his friends everywhere and not use the archaic method of sending greeting cards. Thus you will not overlook a friend and make an enemy I *% T HE Jewish Floridian is the only proper medium to greet your friends. It is with you fiftytwo weeks of fhe year, a tried and true servant, not a fly-by-night, irresponsible, here now and gone tomorrow, money raising stunt 1 Phone 2-1141 and we will be Happy to Serve You Why is it that a splendid Jewish custom has been completelyignored and forgotten in this area. Time there was when an illness of a dear One would bring a contribution to charity or other worthy cause. If there was a birth in the family there was another opportunity when charity, the synagogue or other worthy institution was the recipient of a fair contribution. And so on, down the line. Today there's shopping when Rosh Hashono comes along, there's even shopping when a Bar Mitzvah is held. It's no longer how much can we give, but how little can we get away with. It's about time that every Jewish institution be made to realize that the contemptible practice of getting professional agents. Jews and non-Jews to go out for ads, for programs, or to sell tickets will be opposed by every right thinking Jew this year. The people of this community are entitled to know the money they contribute goes direct to the cause they want to help and that not one penny goes for commissions or other such expenses. The spectacle of non-Jews using Jewish names calling for a Jewish institution and threatening non-Jews with boycotts unless they buy tickets or take ads in programs is revolting to everyoneand will bring about an unusually determined stand to refuse to aid any institution which will use such methods. The Jewish New Year in 1938 comes at a time of such suffering for the Jewish people in many parts of the world that I am prompted to send a message of sympathy and fellowship, I am confident that in doing so I voice the deep feelings of countless other Christians in America. A Christian who on such an occasion as this has the privilege o' speaking to Jewish friends must first of all, acknowledge his indebtedness to the spiritual heritage of the Hebrews. We Christians have inherited the ethical and religious insights of Israel, and hold them in common with you. We hold them with a difference, it is trueat one point with a momentous differencebut we always remember that the hisHebrew people. toric roots of our faith are in the From Israel we inherit the Ter Commandments, which are still the basic moral standards of Christendom. From Israel we inherit the priceless treasure of the Psalms, which are an essential part of Christian worship around the world. From Israel we inherit the vision of social justice which has come to us through j Amos and Isaiah and Micah. From 1 Israel we inherit even our own unique Christian classic, the New Testament, which from the Gospel of St. Matthew through the Epis ties of St. Paul to the Revelation of St. John was written by Jews. Any thoughtful Christian may also be conscious of a present spiritual kinship with his Jewish neighbors to whom their religious heritage is still a vital force. That kinship is grounded in our common faith in the ultimate moral and spiritual foundations of the universe. Over against those who adhere to a materialistic philosophy of life and a mechanistic conception of human destiny, we recognize ourselves as at one with you in the first sublime affirmation of the Pentateuch, "In the Beginning God." Why will not people realize that Federation is for their own benefits and that local organizations are actually part of the community and not independent in every sense of the word. Can they not realise that there are other equally worthy institutions who need to prosper and that when people are trained to giveate one cause, eventually they are trained to give to all. Cannot the greatest good for the largest number be the determining factor in the discharge of our duties to the community rather than a desire to live for and within a restricted group. Will people never learn that the individual who really serves the community does not go about boasting of what he has done and seeks jobs solely on his merit and not because of a service to the community. Can we not realise that using pressure of the Jewish Without such a faith men are like rudderless ships, headed nowhere. For, if the world goes all by chance or is governed by blind forces which care nothing for what we cherish most, then we are left with a profound disbelief in life itself and there is no real bulwark against cynicism and despair. But over against such disillusionment Christian and Hebrew stand together in their belief in the one Holy God who is the Creator of all and whose righteous will gives meaning and direction to life. The divine summons to the Hebrew people is a summons with which Christians also identify themselves as something of transcendent importance to the world: "Hear, O Israel, the Lord our God is one God; and thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart and with all thy soul and with all thy might." A Christian who knows anya word of confession. For he canthing of history must also speak not help recalling how grievously the Jewish people have suffered at the hands of men who have called themselves Christians. The historical record of the treatment of Jews in Europe through long centuries is one which Christians of today view with penitence and name for the purpose of obtaining jobs for unworthy individuals does the Jewish people an irreparable injury. sorrow. One has also regretfully to admit that the day of cruel treatment of the Jew's by tnany who are called Christians is not yet a thing of the past. The news which comes from Germany and Poland and Roumania shows how persistent the spirit of anti-Semitism is. The best that a Christian can ray is that such treatment of the Jews is inherently ur^-Christian, contrary to the plain teaching of Jesus Christ. It must also be confessed that even in our own country there are small misguided groups who circulate statements that spread a poison of mistrust and hate which is antithetical to the true genius both of America and of the Christian religion. Happily, however, it can be asserted with confidence that any such intolerant attitude is opposed by the great bodies of Christians who are committed to the spirit of goodwill toward the men of every race and heritage. A Christian today must also recognize the practical interests which he shares in common with the Jewish people. If there was formerly any dougt on this point, the tragic events in Germany during the last five years must make the fact as plain as noonday. In that unhappy land the National So**/ list regime began by proclaiming itself the friend of what it called 'positive Christianity" and the enemy of the Jews. But everything which has happened since shows that what started as a move.nert against the Jews urns cat to be a movement agains 1 Christianity also. Today in Germany (he whole future of Christianity ; as well as of the Jews is at stake. The new religious trend known a§. the "Germanic faith movement," under the leadership of anti-Semites like Alfred Rosenberg and Balfour von Shirach, denounces' Christianity as well as Judaism and would substitute for both a new religion based on German blood. This new of narrow racialism which scorns German creed asserts a doctrine Christianity as being of Jewish origin and tries to "Aryanize" the Church. Indeed the whole Nazi ideblogy discloses the fact that an attempt to de-Judaize a nation leads to de-Christianizing it also. In the face of the present situation we see more clearly that the ultimate foundation on which human freedom rests is religious faiththe conviction that there is a Divine Reality which is above all earthly powers. If there is no Divine Sovereignty to which a man owes supreme allegiance, then he is at the mercy of what-, ever human sovereignty sets it-, self up in the place of God. When Absolute that transcends all men no longer feel a loyalty to an earthly claims, they become victims of new Absolutes of nation, 1 race or class such as are bidding' for the support of mankind today. If men are to be free from earthly dictators they must know, in the depths of their souls, that there is a divine will above all human wills and that in the final choice they "must obey God rath-> er than men." It is that faith which throughout the centuries has been nurtured by the Hebrew and the Christian Scriptures. Upon that faith, whatever our other differences, we can take our stand together as we look out upon the J tragic state of th modern world.

Governor's Club, will preside THE WORLD'S WffUOOW + -By LUDWIO LEWISOHN It is a commonplace to say that we are a very old people. Biologically we are, of course, no older than any other people. But it is true that the Jews who are alive today are the conscious participants of an historic process which extends to four millenia. At the center of this process stands the land of Palestine. The great myth of the beginning of the Jewish People is the myth of that people's marriage, as it were, to the land of Palestine. From that event arose the Jewish people as a people, even as the Greeks became Creeks only in and through the  onquest of the land since known as Greece and even as Germanic tribes became English only since and through the conquest of the land later to be forever known as r'ngland. Thus it is clear that our birth a-; a people, our becoming a people, was a normal process and was analagous to the process by which our peoples attained the superpersonality of their peoplehood. How tragically the analogy ends. The day came when we were driven forth from our land. But we had become a people in and thru that land. Hence Israelland Eretz Yisraelbecame for all the future ages, in forms that changed but according to a substance that did not change, the central theme and preoccupation of the people's entire apiritual life. Note how the centrality of Ereta Yisrael spans the centuries. Around the year 226 of the common era in the Persian city of Nehardes R. Shmuel declared: (Sanhedrin: F. 7b.) "Sufficient unto the sufferer that he has endured his rufferings." There is no comment save % n the implications of the contest. The Babylonian Amoraim needed none. But seven-hundred and fifty years later Rashi comments on the saying as follows: "The suffering of exile suffices for redemption even without repentance." It is now nearly a thousand years since Rashi's day, and the sufferings of exile over half the earth are fiercer and more fiery than ever, more deeply cal culated than ever to cause redemption without teshuvah, without an n ntire return to good. Eretz Yisrael, in brief, is the center of the destiny of the Jewish people. And the problem before the world and, above all, before the Jewish people is whether that people has the power unwaveringly to will its own destiny and ro achieve its own redemption. The news from Palestine yesterday and today is enough to shake the stoutest heart. It may be so again tomorrow. The brilliant sincere and dangerous Jabotinsky thunders of civil war in Warsaw and his misguided followers add inner terrors to the outer ones. It must not matter. Nothing must matter. Nothing must he permitted to prevail for one moment for one hour, in the soul of any Jew against his share in the unbreakable will of the Jewish people toward ita own deatiny and its own redemption. And the name of that destiny and the name of that redemption have in all ages and are today oneone: the land of Israel.

PRIDAY, AUGUST 26, 1938 PRICE FIVE CENTS JEWISH LEADER DIES IN CANADA Montreal, (WNS)Samuel Jacobs, number one leader of Canadian Jewry and the first Jew elected to the Canadian House of Commons, died here at the age of 67. One of the key figures in the Liberal Party for more than a generation, he had been a member of Parliament since 1917 for the Cartier (Montreal) division. In recent years he had frequently been mentioned for a place in the Senate and the Cabinet. Born in Lancaster, Ontario, he was graduated from McGill University in 1893. Prior to his election to Parliament he was one of the most eminent lawyers of Canada. He was associated with the iate William Travers Jerome, acting for the Attorney-General of New York, in seeking the return to the United States of Harry K. Thaw, who had escaped from an asylum in New York in 1913. An uncompromising ohampion of Jewish rights, Jacobs was responsible for legislation in Quebec Province to remove disabilities against Jews in the schools and as regards marriage. Jacobs was president of the Canadian Jewish Congress, in the creation of which he was a prime factor; honorary president of the Canadian Jewish Immigrant Society; honorary vicepresident of the Jewish Publication Society of America; a director of the Jewish Colonization Association; and a former president of the Montreal Y. M. H. A. A former treasurer of the Montreal Bar Association, he was the representative of Quebec Province on the Council of the Canadian Bar Association. In 1986 he was awarded a medal by the late King George V on the occasion of the King's silver jubilee. % Jacobs was the author of "The Railway Law of Canada" and a leading authority on Federal law. Prime Minister King declared Jacob's death was "a distinct national loss," while Robert Manion, leader of the Conservative Party, said his passing "was a loss to Canada as a whole." League Mandates Commission Analyzes Palestine Situation VETERANS WILL HAVE MONUMENT DetroitA campaign to erect the first monument in the United States to American Jewish soldiers who laid down their lives in the wars of the Republic, will be launched at the 43rd Annual National Encampment of the Jewish War Veterans of the United States, to be held at Detroit, MichSeptember second to fifth, it was announced this week by Samuel J. Leve, General Convention Chairman. The proposed monument is to be erected at Gettysburg, Pa., scene of the Battle of Gettysburg >n the Civil War, Mr. Leve said. Geneva, (WNS Palcor Agency) The Permanent Mandates Commission of the League of Nations headed by Pierre Orts of Belgium this week made public its report on its survey of the Palestine situation together with the minutes of its sessions held in June in which it stated that Great Britain "still considers partition the best and most hopeful solution." Declaring that conditions revealed by its investigations of developments in Palestine caused it "the utmost concern," the Mandates Commission expressed the hope that the period before a final decision with regard to the future of the country is made will be as short as possible, as all interests involved must "suffer further from a continuation of the present state of uncertainty." The report of the Commission will be taken up by the Council of the League of Nations at its session on Friday, September 9th. In its comment on the disturbances the Commission's report stated that the British representative described the situation as equivalent to "a new * % *-**."' The accredited representative of the Mandatory Power admitted, the report declared, "that events during the past year produced a transitional situation other than the transitional period the Royal Commission expected to elapse between the decisions it recommended and their practical application." While the Royal Commission believed that during the period of transition the present Mandate would continue as the governing instrument of the administration of Palestine, the Mandates Commission cannot "actually recognize its aplication. The Mandate has been partially suspended as events have prevented some of the fundamental objects of the Mandate from being carried out." Great Britain was obliged to prolong the period of limitation of Jewish immigration to "a greater extent than justified by the principle of absorptivity approved by the Council of the League of Nations." The situation also proved less favorable for establishing self governing institutions, the report says. The following is the text of the Mandate's Commission report: "The report on Palestine for 1937 submitted by the Mandatory Power makes clear the fact that the political situation has not emerged from the deadlock as the British representative characterized it one year ago. Throughout the year public order in Palestine was continually disturbed by attacks, intimidation and sabotage on the part of Arabs and on a few occasions these acts provoked Jewish reprisals. Violence increased month by month and spread farther across the country. More recently, however, order appears to have been established in Jerusalem and the disturbances occur TO HOLD EXAMS Merit System Examinations under the auspices of the State Welfare Board will be held in Miami on September 17th. Applications for this examination must be filed not later than September 1st in the headquarters of the State We-1 fare Board, Roberts Building, Jacksonville. These blanks may be secured from the local Welfare office at 31 Northeast First Street. The office here will be glad to answer any questions concerning the examination, Mrs. Bernard Simon, publicity chairman, states. now mainly in the northern part of the country. "The chief concern of the Mandatory Power is the restoration of order which, of course, is its primary duty.. It has applied itself to this task with a determination for which every credit is due, although its measure of success has not been commensurate with the effort it expended or the sacrifices it made. The Mandatory Power's accredited representative described the situation as a state of war, thus making clear the gravity of the attacks upon authority and the extent of the resources called into play for overcoming it. He also convinced the Mandate's Commission of the exceptional difficulties of this task owing to the physical position of the country and the lack of cooperation on the part of the Arabs either because of sympathy with the insurgents or because they have been terrorized by the threat of reprisals and also owing to the fact that the insurrection has received help from the outside. "Measures for the restoration of order constitute a heavy financial burden which necessitates interference with ordinary administrative activities. The accredited representative admitted that the year's events produced a transitional situation other than the transitional period the Royal Commission expected to elapse between the decisions it recommended and their practical application. The Royal Commission considered that during that period the present Mandate would continue as the governing instrument for the administration of Palestine. Actually, however, the Mandate Commission cannot recognize its application. The Mandate has now been partially suspended as events have prevented some of its essential objects from being pursued. Thus the Mandatory Power felt obliged to prolong the period for limiting Jewish immigration to a greater extent than justified by the principle of absorptivity approved by the Council of the League of Nations. Similarly the situation has (Continued en Page Six) PRESIDENT HAILS JEWISH SERVICE Detroit, (WNS)  American Jews "have played a great and commendable part in the defense of Americanism during the World War and prior wars, and have contributed much toward the development and preservation of the glory and romance of our country and our democratic form of government," President Roosevelt declared in a message to the 43rd national encampment of the Jewish War Veterans of the United States which is to be held in Detroit September second to fifth. Addressed to Harry H. Schaffer, national commander, and made public here by Samuel J. Leve, general convention chairman, the President's message read as follows: "It is with pleasure that I again greet the members of the Jewish War Veterans and all who participate in their 43rd national encampment. The American people need no reminder of the service which those of the Jewish faith have rendered our nation. It has been a service with honor and distinction. History reveals that your people have played a great and commendable part in the defense of Americanism during the World War and prior wars, and have contributed much in time of peace toward the development and preservation of the glory and romance of our country and our democratic form of government. On behalf of the American people I commemorate your loyal and commendable service and wish for you a happy and successful encampment." ROOSEVELT WILL T Manila, P. I., (WNS)Instructions to admit 1,000 Austrian and German Jews to the Philippine Islands have been sent to American High Commissioner Paul V. McNutt by President Roosevelt. The refugees will be selected by the Hilfsverein der Juden in Deutschland and the Hias-Ica-Emigration Association. Each immigrant must be a skilled worker and in possession of 260 pesos. The Jewish community here has already taken steps to absorb the refugees when they arrive, having asked the government to issue practice licenses to 20 Jewish doctors and 25 physicians' assistants. Grants of land for agricultural immigrants will be asked for the refugees. RIFT APPEARS IN OIES COMMITTEE Washington, D. C, (WNS) The reported resignation and subsequent denial of the report by Representative Healey of Mass., from the Special House Committee Investigating Subversive Activities because of the committee's red-baiting policies and its failure to probe Nazi and Fascist activities revealed a deep-seated cleavage in the committee. Another member of the committee is reported to be preparing to resign shortly. Coincidentally with Representative Healejr's resignation, the committee obtained from the Federal Bureau of Investigation its bulky files on the GermanAmerican Bund. Accumulated during the G-men's probe of the Bund, the files are being studied by the committee in executive session with a view to making them the basis of examination of a number of key figures in the Nazi movement in this country. Meanwhile, whispered charges that Homer I. Chaillaux, director of the Americanism Commission of the American Legion, had supported the Rev. Gerald Winrod, Kansas anti-Semite who was defeated for the Republican Senatorial nomination in his state, came into the open when Representative Dies, chairman of the investigating committee, questioned Chaillaux about the reports. Chaillaux denied being a supporter of Winrod but admitted uaing some of the material contained in Winrod's antirSemitic publication, The Defender. Chaillaux also acknowledged authorship of a friendly letter he had written to Winrod, in which the Legion official said "I enjoyed reading the Defender which you are sending me regularly." Chaillaux's letter was widely exploited by Winrod during his Senatorial campaign. New York, (WNS)Charging that the Dies Committee investigating subversive activities hs-i become "a red-baiting proposition," Representative Samuel Dickstein, chairman of the House Immigration Committee, issued a statement attacking the Dies committee for its failure to expose the existence of 31 Nazi camps, to find out the object of subjecting memberj of the camps to an oath of allegiance to a foreign government, or to inquire into the extensive propaganda flooding the country from abroad.

He will he the only Jewish member of the Senate but the fourth Jew appointed by the royal court since the institution of a full parliamentary regime in Egypt. O, ISRAEL! HATE JEWS ON RACIAL GROUNDS London, (WNS)Impla c a bl e hatred of the Jews on religious rather than racial grounds is a basic tenet of the program of the Spanish State (Fascist) Party, it is announced in a manifesto pu> lished at Pamplona, Spain, accord% to a dispatch from Reuters, Agency. "Precisely because we are not racialists and do not recognize values of blood but of the spirit," the manifesto declares, "we are essentially and fundamentally enemies of thsj Jews. Jews are enemies of the church and of Roman civilization." One manifesto rejects anti-Jewish legislation predicated on eugenic and political grounds but proposes measures akin to the Inquisition and mass expulsion like that of 1492. (BY HERMAN BERNSTEIN) Twenty-four years ago, this piece was written by Herman Bernstein, noted author and U. S. diplomat, for The Independent, a literary weekly. Its sentiments are appropriate today when Jewish leadership, so much needed, remains a matter of selfish contesting and argument. Listen to the voice of Herman Bernstein, now in the grave, sound a warning and a plea! THE EDITOR A nation of leaders with no one to lead; a nation of dreamers, a nation of practical men; though small in numbers, yet your financiers often decided the destiny of nations, your poets and prophets have inspired the world, your tradesmen are perhaps more cunning, your millionaires perhaps more ostentatious, your poor starve more wretchedly  you great, ideal, practical, eternal wandererIsrael! O Israel! Blesed and cursed, you who have given to the world your saints and your prophets, true and false, your heroes and your traitors, great and small. O nation of leaders with no one to lead; you whose consciousness was steeled in the fires of hate and whose hearts remained tender despite the prejudice and cruelty of centuries; you who as a pitiful wanderer have begged for the right to live; you who have been hated, feared by the envious; you who are loved or merely tolerated because you are weak; you who, armed with the Bible and the Talmud, have passed unscratched through the furnace of superstition. You whose bankers preach to you, and whose preachers bank on youon the "Jewish question," the eternal Jewish question, a football for friend or foe, kicke-" and tossed from side to side with mercy and without. O weak-willed, weary, tenacious Wanderer, O nation of 'leaders" With no one to lead! Some send you West, some drive ITALY BANS JEWISH TEACHERS Rome, (WNS)Orders for the dismissal of all Jewish teachers from the Italian public and high schools have been issued by Minister of Education Guiseppe Bettai. fhe dismissals take effect October 1st with the opening of the new school year. In instructions sent to school principals, Bettai announced that in the future all candidates seeking school jobs must present documentary proof that they are not Jewish. Provision is made for exemptions in cases where the applicant or his family posses "particular national merit." fhe text of Bettai's order reads as follows. "The posts of assistant instructors and instructors of the royal institutes, high schools, artistic institutes and governmental grammar schools cannot be given to pedagogues of the Jewish race. To this end, royal educational superintendents and principles of the royal institutes must receive from all aspirants a written, signed statement that they do not belong to the aforesaid race before accepting a position as instructor or assistant." This order means the complete exclusion of Jews from the teaching profession as all appointments are renewable annually. A previous order by the ministry of education had excluded foreign Jews from Italian schools and universities. VETERANS URGED TO AID JEWRY you East, some draw you back to your cradle, others plead with you that you forget your mother. O pitiful, strong, stiff-necked wanderer, Israel! You' who have been crucified for centuries, though you bear the undeserved stigma of the most tragic crucifixion in history; last for war and first for peace; a stormy petrel; the barometer of history; sometimes a hero, sometimes a clown, always a martyr; ever organizing, ever preaching solidarity, yet none so helpless, Columbus, Ohio, (WNS)Addressing the national encampment of the Veterans of Foreign Wars, Dr. Everett R. Clinchy, director of the National Conference of Jews and Christians, urged the veterans to promise the Jews that "the United States will be kept one island safe from the troubled sea of persecution, hate, contempt and untruths, a land free from antiSemitism, a stronghold of spiritual decency." A plea for free speech for Fascists, Communists and Nazis was made by Herbert Bayard Swope, former managing editor of the New York World. Declaring that "they convict themselves out of their own mouths," Swope said "is there is such magic in Comumnism or in Nazism or in Fascism that they must be feared? I don't think so. I think they are a sordid, frowsy, unhappy mode of life, and that a comparison with the American system will show up their viciousness and slavery." ARABS AND JEWS EXCHANGE VIEWS so disorganized; torn asunder from within and from without. O nation of leaders with no one to lead! Some would awaken in you haughty pride because of your past; others preach to you humiliation, oblivion, self-destruction; some rouse you, others lull you to sleep; some attack you as if you were not human, others sing your praises as though you were divine; some attack you for your "separatism." others drive you t"separatism," others drive you to O chosen people, chosen for suffering, marked for derision, even for slaughteryou who are as good as the rest and as bad as the rest! Can you find your way amidst the tumult and chaos created by Poughkeepsie, N. Y., (WNS) The struggle for democratic rights can be a common meetir-r ground for Jews and Arabs in Palestine, representatives of the two races declared during a discussion of minority preblems at the second World Youth Congress. Raif Khuri, Palestine Arab, expressed himself as favoring complete rights for the Jews in Palestine as a democratic minority'but cautioned them against becoming the "tools" of British imperialism and thus coming into conflict with the "basic hopes and ideals" of the Arabs and endangering their own best interests. Jewish rights, Khuri said, can be guaranteed only by the fullest cooperation with the Arabs for the Jews have as much to fear as the Arabs from "their British protectors." Maurice Bouckstein, representing the Palestine League of Nations Society, denied that Pal*"tine's problems can be interpreted as simply "a clash between Jewish and Arab nationalism." He insisted the problem was in reality a clash "between progress and the status quo." Declaring that the "Jewish people have no quarrel with the Arab people," Bouckstein recalled previous Arab recognition of the Zionist movement and said that the Jews in Palestine practiced the fullest democracy, in contrast with tha undemocratic hierarchy of Arab society. your counsellors, your organizers, your well-wishers, your destroy ers, O nation of leaders wtth no one to lead? Do the leaders of 'Israer and foes of Israel realize what they are doing with the clay and the spirit that have been moulded, through the bonfires of persecutions and martyrdom, by the host of great thinkers and dreamers and reformers since tha time of Moses to this day?.
